Martin Model MBS Automatic Butt Splicer
The benefits of automatic splicing add up to significantly increased productivity, greater quality control and reduced waste.
The MBS applies these benefits to label converting, flexible packaging and narrow web applications.
The MBS is engineered for versatility, combining simplicity and reliability with feature
flexibility. Design features of the MBS include:
•

Reliable rolling shear splice unit. This patented butt splice unit simultaneously
severs the web and irons tape across the splice, producing a tight bond. The
precision shear wheel and anvil mechanism guarantees a clean cut and no
overlap. A second rotary nip applies tape to the backside of the splice.
Lift-and-load. A patented, built-in roll handling system lifts rolls up to 1500
LBS/680 KGS from the aisle, without the need for
auxiliary roll loading equipment.
Automatic sidelay. This feature maintains the
alignment of the running web to the prepared
web in the splice unit. A sensor (ultrasonic shown
here with a clear film) monitors the position of the
running web, and the automatic sidelay system
compensates to insure that the webs are
aligned at the time of a splice.
Inertia compensated tension control. The festoon
features Martin’s inertia compensation technology for
consistent, accurate tensioning of the web as it enters the
process.
Automatic splice initiation. The MBS monitors the
diameter of the running roll and automatically makes
a roll change at a pre-set diameter. Alternatively, the
tail grabbing function initiates a splice as material
separates from the core for maximum material usage
and minimum waste.
Soft tension features.
The MBS can be
equipped to handle a
wide range of materials,
including delicate film
webs. Driven unwind
packages are available
for lightweight stocks
requiring very low
tension levels and
strictest tension accuracy.
